Michael Irvin stopped by WEEI (I think) on radio row a couple of days before the Super Bowl and he was fabulous - lively, funny and with a lot to say. He talked a lot about Cooks then, saying that the Rams were a better fit for him because he didn't like having to go across the middle of the field where he might, you know, have contact with an opponent. He said that's how the Patriots wanted him to play, but not the Rams. I'm not sure how much the Pats wanted him to go across the middle, but it seems correct to say that he didn't do so well on the Pats when challenged physically. It seems as though he likes to turn on the jets, catch the ball and get tackled quickly without putting up a struggle. But back to Michael Irvin - on that day at least, he was a GREAT commentator - engaging, witty and thoughtful.
